01 ·Paper Deep-Dives·FREE·13 min read When Proxies Stop Being Good Enough — Reading August 2026's Eight Autonomous Driving Papers Together A cross-cutting read of eight autonomous-driving arXiv papers from late August 2026. Three groups independently stop measuring safety in expectation, two add an observation channel outside the ego vehicle's own history, and two genuinely don't fit the story. 02 ·Agents·FREE·PAPER·9 min read End-to-End Driving from Scratch — Perception to Control in a Single Network End-to-end autonomous driving learns everything from camera pixels to steering in one neural network. Starting from zero, we cover how it differs from the modular stack, imitation learning and distribution shift, why 'predicting the average' causes crashes, and why interpretability and validation remain the hard part.
